Have you set bin_path in your sphinx.yml file? I did set up almost the same 
server just over a week ago (Karmic, 0.9.9, TS 1.3.16, passenger with nginx), 
and it works for me... but maybe that's because I used passenger-stack:
http://github.com/benschwarz/passenger-stack

(Though I used a branch which had some issues with the nginx init.d file, but 
that won't influence the PATH).

I guess, I'd start with setting bin_path to wherever indexer and searchd are 
located (/usr/local/bin?), and if that doesn't help matters, let us know :)
